Product details
Overview
MAX6193AESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 3.000V output with ±2mV initial accuracy, 5ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35µA max quiescent current - designed for high-stability analog signal chains in battery-powered instrumentation and precision ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6193AESA+T datasheet, MAX6193AESA+T pinout, MAX6193AESA+T application, or MAX6193AESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100mV dropout at 500µA load, 0.14µV/µA load regulation, stability with up to 2.2nF capacitive loads, and guaranteed performance over -40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6193AESA+T employs a curvature-corrected bandgap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve <5ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±2mV (0.067%) initial accuracy. It operates as a series-mode reference, sourcing or sinking up to ±500µA while maintaining regulation.
Internally compensated for fast settling (100µs to 0.1%), it exhibits minimal supply current variation (≤2µA/V) across input voltage and remains stable without external capacitance - though optional 2.2nF output caps improve transient response in dynamic load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.000V ±2mV (±0.067%) - tightly specified for 12-bit to 16-bit converter reference rails |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤5ppm/°C - ensures ≤150µV drift over -40°C to +85°C ambient range |
| Quiescent Current | ≤35µA - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable meters |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 500µA load - supports regulation from 3.1V input in 3.3V systems |
| Load Regulation | 0.14µV/µA - contributes ≤70µV error across full ±500µA load swing |
| Line Regulation | 20µV/V - adds ≤200µV error over 3.1V–12.6V input range |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 150µVP-P - suitable for high-resolution DC measurement front-ends |
Pinout & Package
MAX6193AESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant and rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 1 is OUT, Pin 2 is IN, Pin 4 is GND; Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8 are No Connect (N.C.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| 2 | IN | Supply input terminal - accepts 3.2V to 12.6V; requires local decoupling for PSR optimization |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must connect to clean system ground plane with low-impedance path |
| 6 | OUT | Precision 3.000V reference output - capable of sourcing/sinking ±500µA with <100mV dropout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-corrected bandgap | Enables ≤5ppm/°C TC without external compensation components |
| Laser-trimmed thin-film resistors | Guarantees ±2mV initial accuracy without post-package calibration |
| Capacitive-load stability | Operates stably with 0–2.2nF output capacitance - eliminates mandatory external cap |
| Low dropout at full load | 100mV dropout at 500µA allows use in 3.3V systems with minimal headroom |
| Supply current immunity | Only 0.8µA/V variation over input range - simplifies power budgeting in variable-VIN designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3030AIDBZR | 3.0V output, ±1.5mV initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max TC, 50µA supply current | Higher TC and supply current; less suitable for wide-temp battery operation | Preferred where lower cost outweighs TC and quiescent current penalties |
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | 3.0V output, ±2mV initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max TC, 45µA supply current | Looser TC spec and higher IQ; requires larger input headroom (150mV dropout) | Valid alternative when board space permits SOT-23-5 and TC margin >10ppm/°C is acceptable |
Compared with REF3030AIDBZR and ADR3430ARJZ-R7, the MAX6193AESA+T delivers superior temperature stability (5ppm/°C vs. ≥10ppm/°C), lower quiescent current (35µA vs. ≥45µA), and tighter initial tolerance under identical test conditions - making it optimal for high-accuracy, ultra-low-power portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6193AESA+T while maintaining regulation?
The MAX6193AESA+T guarantees regulation while sourcing or sinking up to ±500µA. At 500µA load, dropout voltage is specified at 100mV - meaning the input must be ≥3.1V to maintain 3.000V output within tolerance. Performance remains stable with capacitive loads up to 2.2nF, and no external capacitor is required for basic operation.
Does the MAX6193AESA+T require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6193AESA+T is internally compensated and stable with 0nF to 2.2nF output capacitance. An external capacitor is optional and only recommended to improve transient response in applications with rapidly changing load currents - such as multiplexed sensor interfaces or burst-mode data acquisition systems using the MAX6193AESA+T.
What is the temperature coefficient specification for the MAX6193AESA+T, and how is it measured?
The MAX6193AESA+T has a maximum temperature coefficient of 5ppm/°C, measured using the "box method": the peak-to-peak output voltage change over the full -40°C to +85°C range is divided by the temperature span. This yields a worst-case drift of ±150µV across the operating range, directly impacting absolute accuracy in precision measurement circuits using the MAX6193AESA+T.
Can the MAX6193AESA+T be used in a 3.3V system with tight input headroom?
Yes - the MAX6193AESA+T achieves 100mV dropout at 500µA load, enabling reliable operation from a nominal 3.3V rail even at end-of-life battery voltage (~3.1V). Its supply voltage range starts at (VOUT + 0.2V) = 3.2V, and line regulation is specified at 20µV/V, ensuring minimal output shift across expected rail variation in the MAX6193AESA+T's operating envelope.
How does the MAX6193AESA+T compare to shunt voltage references in terms of power efficiency?
Unlike shunt references that draw constant current through a series resistor, the MAX6193AESA+T draws only 35µA quiescent current - independent of load - and supplies load current directly from VIN. This eliminates wasted bias current, reduces thermal stress, and extends battery life significantly in intermittent-use applications where the MAX6193AESA+T serves as the primary reference.
